CURTIS SCHMIDT

A Milwaukee native, Curtis Schmidt spent the first decade of his career in advertising as a video editor. His career took him to Los Angeles, New York, Kansas City, and now his permanent home of Chicago, Illinois.  During his career as a video editor, he worked for national brands such as Toyota, Gillette, Marmot, and Google. As a music video editor he edited music videos for bands like Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, and Kendrick Lamar. He was then recruited to lead the post-production departments of several successful commercial production companies, until he accepted a Director of Video Production position at a leading tech company. He built both leadership and technical skills as he progressed through positions that required him to be varying combinations of creative director, project manager, team leader, director, video editor, colorist, and cameraman.

 

Curtis has been an invited participant in panel discussions about post production and virtual reality for Columbia College, AICP, Chi VR (the Midwest’s largest virtual reality meet up), the Virtual and Augmented Reality Association (VR/ARA), and the Chicago Creative Pro Users Group. His passion for storytelling and new immersive technologies translates into fruitful partnerships with the companies, creatives, and agencies who collaborate with him.
